A word on red-eye effect
When you photograph a person’s face in dim light
with Flash, the eyes will sometimes turn out red in
the picture. This is because the light from the Flash
enters the person’s eyes and is reflected back into
the camera lens. To reduce the chances of getting
red-eye pictures, observe the following rules:
q
Take your picture with the camera set to the Red-
eye Reducing Mode.
w
Ask your subject to stare at the camera.
e
Bring the camera up as close as possible to your
subject.
